About Terence
Dr. Terence "Terry" Rooney is a California psychologist with four decades of clinical experience. He uses that background to help people manage depression, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. He welcomes people who want practical support and clearer direction.
Rooney trained and practiced in both public and private settings and completed the clinical supervision required for his license. His work draws on a mix of approaches rather than a single method. That gives him a flexible set of ways to respond to different problems.
Sessions are typically focused and goal-oriented. He often helps people identify small, concrete steps to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. He also works with longer-term issues when more time is needed.
He uses Client-Centered methods to create a respectful space where people can talk things through at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used when thoughts and behaviors are getting in the way of feeling better. Mindfulness and existential perspectives are also part of his approach when people want to examine meaning and coping strategies.
Rooney has experience with a wide range of concerns, including substance use, trauma, relationship problems, parenting stress, ADHD, and identity-related issues. He aims to help each person build practical skills and clearer choices they can use after sessions end.
